Morning and evening cluster: the old lighthouse clock tower, the Dutch Hospital courtyard and the harbour-side lanes; government and port areas have checkpoints and photo limits.

  • Sri Lanka ↗Apply for the Electronic Travel Authorisation only on the official government ETA site; lookalike sites charge extra, and the rules and fees change.
  • Sri Lanka ↗At temples cover shoulders and knees, take off shoes and hats, and never pose with your back to a Buddha statue; Buddha images on clothes or tattoos cause offence.
  • Sri Lanka ↗Carry Sri Lankan rupees in small notes; tuk-tuks, buses and small shops are cash-only, and ATMs are fewer outside the cities.
  • Western Province ↗Colombo's peak traffic (about 07:00–09:30 and 16:30–19:30) doubles car times: plan airport transfers and cluster changes outside it.
  • Colombo ↗Colombo pavements are narrow, broken or missing and Pettah's lanes are packed: large suitcases go from the car to the door, never on a walk.
  • Colombo ↗Around the Fort's government buildings, harbour and military posts, guards can stop photography: ask before you raise a camera.
